Barbara,

sorry, the Hannover Evangelical Church never allowed LDS to copy records.

All films that you find in the LDS Archives are copies of records that are
deposited in Public Archives, mostly because they are duplicates.

Brigette,

      There have been exceptions to that for sure. How they got there I
wouldn't know, but anything is helpful. I have looked at LDS records all
over the place and the LDS has some church records and a number of other
records like census, emigration, etc. I wouldn't care if the records were
duplicates!

     It appears to me from the USA information that Michelle's family was
Catholic. I know that the Osnabrück Catholic diocese "in general" has not
allowed the copying of records either, but, I know from experience, there
are some Catholic church records that have been filmed. I have been to the
Osnabrück diocesan office to do research as well.
